Konya Tropical Butterfly Garden
Konya Tropikal Kelebek Bahçesi
One of the largest tropical butterfly gardens in Europe, with thousands of colourful butterflies fluttering in a greenhouse shaped like a giant butterfly
The butterfly garden opened in 2015 in the Selçuklu district in the north of the city. The building is shaped like a butterfly with its wings spread. Its roughly 3,000-square-metre greenhouse houses about 20 species and 6,000 tropical butterflies. There is also an insect museum and a hatching display area, where you can watch butterflies emerge up close. It suits families. It is closed on Mondays and open about 9:00–18:00 (shorter hours in winter). Tickets must be purchased, and a tram takes you nearby.
